The case against. For me, Randers FC's record still gives them 41% to win.
The read. AC Horsens to win. A draw is live. An open game. AC Horsens are the stronger side on form and the table, and both teams' records favour AC Horsens. Their goals for and against point to an open game, their records put over 2.5 goals at 68%, and four of the last six meetings went over 2.5.
The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Under 4.5 Goals (no unders on an open read); 1X2 - 2UP: AC Horsens (the signs point different ways); Under 5.5 Goals (no unders on an open read). Predicted score: AC Horsens 2-1 Randers FC (8% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (the call and an open game).
